Rival sultans manipulate the five tribes and summon djinns to seize control of Naqala.

Gameplay

Players auction for turn order, then execute mancala-style meeple moves to claim tiles, activate tribe powers, and place palaces or oases. Set-collect goods and acquire djinns for variable abilities, balancing tactical scoring bursts with long-term positioning.
